guy advice what do I do

yes I'm going to be one of those people who discuss their situation with a person with context and hopes for advice on tsr

so I sit next to this guy(let's call him John) in biology. I moved up sets and this is the first time I'm learning who he is I've only heard his name before.
we started off slightly quiet. I was a bit shy I didn't know who he was. Whenever I need help he helped me. We sit at the front and his friend sits next to me so they talk too.

John isn't the most attractive guy. He's tall, and that's about it. He's poorly groomed basically. I am okay. I wouldn't call myself pretty because I'm not. But compared to other girls in school or in bio I'm mid range or mid range +1

Over the past 4 months and a bit, naturally I've started to speak to John more and show my colours I guess. He calls me weird n strange too (not condescending this is always lighthearted I think lol)

He has a tendency to get excited and when he does its almost like panicky. His body language opens up and he tenda to spread his legs and arms out n move closer (like when I figure smth out or we're discussing test scores.) Our legs touch alot under the table idk if this is weird or not I've never experienced it w someone else b4. I don't know if he notices or not or notices but doesn't mind it? I do not think I'm overabalusosnf this because if u touched legs w someone under the table me n them would immediately retreat our legs cuz itz just weird.

Has he shows any signs of liking me? Well no. I don't show any outwards signs of liking him tho so
We both r interested in eachothers schedules etc because we both are top performers.

He's really good at English and sometimes when he wants something I occasionally joke and say mark/look over my essays then I'll tell u or whatever.
At the end of last lesson he inclined to do so when I asked I said he owes me looking over one essay n he said sure. I was shocked I was like u mean it? N he was like ye OK. So potential convo starter? I can get his number n message him I have connections but I don't want to ruin our friendship or whatever we've established.

Idk I've never seen him speak to a girl before and he has no game end of. So idk if he could potentially see me as an interest or if im just a friend. I can't see any obvious signs except we talk quite a bit but that's normal between friends.

I was walking one direction (alone) he was walking the opposite direction so we both were facing eacjother. I positively ran to the left (he was in the right) and it was quire obvious that I did it tbf we both made eye contact.

Tmrw in class he'll be begging to see my mock grades whatever but I don't want to show them to anyone I might make an exception cyz he'll score similarly n I've probably scored the best in the whole yr or whatever so natural interest too. Gosh idk if I should show him or not I'll defo end up caving in tho.

Idk what to do should I just try to act normal and let this pass or is there any way I can start dropping hints if so how do j drop hints I've never been in a relationship w someone only one taking stage where we both liked eachother but too embarrassed to admit smh. (Uh in Yr 7 n I'm in Yr 11 now )

. I say go for it, ask for his number; the worst that can happen he says no which I doubt will happen.

I'm not saying jump straight into dating and romantic but maybe get to know him more outside of a school environment, hang out.
